Can't Install Any 4.3/4/4 Rom... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

dont know why but for whatever reason i cant install any 4.3/4/4 rom on my phone.. im currently on Darthstalker V9 no real problems with that but i figured id try something new and i just keep getting "bad" errors.. ive tried different downloads,updated recoveries,still nothing.. any help would be appreciated..

Maybe your md5 is doesn't match the original file.. Check the md5 and there's your answer so in other words you're getting a bad download

Are you doing a full wipe of system, data, cache, and dalvik in recovery before flashing a different ROM?
And what are the exact errors you are getting in recovery? I assume they aren't just saying "Bad". (At least I hope not, because then I'm really lost...)

Gotta give more details man, what recoveries have you tried? how updated? the best in my opinion is CWM recovery...what rom did you try to flash? do you have any addons on your browser that speed up downloads? did you check the MD5 on the roms you downloaded to make sure they were good?

i tried the latest CWM and Philz recoveries and got errors with both.. the errors i get are saying they cant open the zip or whatever i do it again in a few minutes so i can get the exact wording... yes ive done a full wipe,i'll double check the md5's to make sure thats not it,i dont remember if i checked them or not with the last thing i tried to switch to. i shall report back.

Switch to TWRP recovery and try it. It's an entirely different design of recovery. (CWM and Philz are basically the same thing under the hood)
Just see if you get a different result in TWRP. That will help narrow down the issue.
You can get TWRP using the Goo Manager App or can flash it in Odin.

It can no longer be rooted using the version of the su file the forum posts point to. Although the information in the posts are accurate.
You must use a newer version of the su file. This is the one that worked for me: Corrected http://goo.im/superuser/Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip Corrected
You will get an error message after Clockwork runs the script but everything should be ok.
Basically, if your a newb go to: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2-faq/
Follow the rooting guide, but instead of using the included su zip file use the one from the link that I provided.
I hope that this helps.

Thanks
I dont want to be rude. Thanks for this but i think this is already posted. If you get error just go back wipe dalvik and cache and flash it again or just flash it a couple times. I got this error when i rooted stock kl1 but i knew it because it was reported already and fix was posted as well. I did exactly same to root LDE and it works. If u get error just flash again...thats all.

Yes, as has been stated even prior to the update, some people had to flash su several times for it to take hold.
If it is aborting, you can also toggle off signature verification. Worked like a charm for me.

recovery unable to flash zip files

I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and immediately flashed the system to ICS, using SFHub's stock rooted FF18.
Phone works great with that rom. But I was trying to apply Kobridge's tweak pack and discovered that recovery is not letting me install .zip files.
I reboot into recovery fine, and can choose "apply update from sd card .zip" fine. I can navigate to the file fine. When I select it though, it immediately switches to an android bot lying down, with its hood open and a red triangle above it.
I then have to pull the battery to re-boot the phone. It boots into normal startup fine, but the tweak has not been applied.
I tried several versions, and other zips, and it doesn't seem to want to let me install anything that way.
Ideas? I'd rather not have to put CWM on the phone or a different rom on the phone just yet.
That is because the install update zips are for official sprint/Samsung upgrades. To flash those you need CWM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
You're going to need CWM or another custom recovery to flash anything on your phone
Now I feel like an idiot. I thought the version I got had a working recovery in it, but you're right - it didn't.
I installed Agat's and it's working fine now.
Thanks for the help!
No problem. Your not an idiot. It's alittle confusing sometimes.

No problem and I agree. You're not an idiot. It's also better to ask questions than it is to end up with a very expensive paperweight because you tried to figure things out on your own like some of us have done.

Even though you're in the wrong forum... It sounds like a bad download, try redownloading the ROM.

Same thing happened to me today. Maybe it wasn't a mistake. Is it your ROM Jellybam 5.2.0 by any chance?
After odin'ing a stock rom, if still no service, another important thing to check is under "about phone" under settings. Check baseband.
Also look in "about phone" under "status". Bring a screen shot. Lots of blank fields is a bad thing...

Indeed, flashing a stock rom through odin did it.
I tried every other solution (ktool, moving files using root explorer and terminal emulator etc.) with no luck.

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.
Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.
Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?
Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.
*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!
Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?
Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.
Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/
Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.
Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?
Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.
As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.
hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?
Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...
Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked

Where you running a different ROM before 4.3 rooted? Rebooting can be caused by several things like dirty flashing or not wiping correctly.

The only true way to fix this is to learn to pull a logcat. Then get the dev to see if he can figure out what's going on. Since its a rebooting issue, logcat apps are useless. You have to use ADB from a computer, and issue commands so the computer will record logcats throughout the rebooting process. I would try a clean wipe, fresh install 1st.
